From Shakers To Spiritual Baptists” by Adrian Fraser

KINGS-SVG Publishers is pleased to announce the publication of
“From Shakers To Spiritual Baptists: The Struggle For Survival of the Shakers of
St. Vincent and the Grenadines” by Adrian Fraser. The new
book examines the factors and circumstances that led to the passage of the
Shaker Prohibition Ordinance that declared the Shaker religion illegal in 1912.
It then traces the efforts made to repeal that Ordinance. The focus is on the
Shakers’ struggle for survival and for their right to worship in the manner
they deemed fit. Central to this were the environment and conditions
that emerged in St. Vincent after the riots of 1935. George McIntosh, who
was one of the main political personalities to have come on to the political scene
after the riots, is depicted as one of the chief architects of the efforts to have
the Ordinance repealed. Some attention is paid to the origin of the religion
known at first as ‘The Wilderness People'. This account of St. Vincent and
the Grenadines’ only known indigenous religion should be of interest to all
members of that religion and of Vincentians and others generally, as the
forces against which the Shakers had to contend were ones that helped
to shape so much of SVG’s history and society.

The author, Dr. Adrian Fraser, is Head of the University of the West Indies
Open Campus, St. Vincent and the Grenadines.

He is the author of Chatoyer: National Hero of St .Vincent and the Grenadines.
He is also a weekly columnist with the Searchlight newspaper of St. Vincent and the Grenadines.

A formal launching of the new book is scheduled to take place on Monday, August 29, 2011,
at 5:00 p.m. at the University of the West Indies Open campus at Murray Road, Richmond Hill.
All are cordially invited to attend.

Postcards

"The Picture Postcards of St. Vincent And The Grenadines" by J. Chin Aleong is a carefully cataloged pictorial collection of postcards of St. Vincent and the Grenadines.

The Comrade

A political autobiography of Dr. The Honorable Ralph Gonzalves, Prime Minister of St. Vincent and the Grenadines. Well supplied with photographs, including one of the Belmont Viewpoint from which I took the pictures in a previous blog. It was published by SFI Books which is located around the corner from where we live. I'll include a review once I get a chance to read it.

People, early

A book on precolonial and colonial people, probably written as a lower form textbook in Dominica, where Lennox Honychurch is a lot better known than he is on St. Vincent and the Grenadines. But it was on sale at Reliance Stationary which I walked past after visiting the bank.

New Books

Or at least new to me. I was strolling down Back Street in Kingstown the other day and I noticed a bookstore that was new to me: Jujube Books. I stopped in to look at some books related to St. Vincent and the Grenadines, or at least to the carribean area. I bought a couple whose covers are shown below along with the announcement card of the shop. They had a lot more St. Vincent and the Grenadines related books.

Slow Posting

The reason I haven't been posting as much is because I have been polishing a book about the future prompted by Keith Olbermann, Wikileaks and that kind of stuff, the Egyptian Revolution, and the Wisconsin Revolution, and the general realization that the middle-, working- and lower-classes have been given more of a hard time than usual. So far The Egyptian Revolution has won and the Wisconsin Revolution went to the fascists. That's because Americans think they live in a democracy. Kieth Olbermann lost, then won, then lost again, then won again, and the final score isn't in yet. The combattants in the Wikileaks confrontation, the US Government on one side and the Anonymous Hackers on the other (they were in Stig Andersson's Millenium Trilogy), have both gone back to lurking in secret. Sometime in the future we'll see a bureaucratic quasi-legal move by the secret parts of the US government and a hacking kind of response from the Anonymous Hackers. Little burps will appear on the surface of the internet. Neither party is really on "our" side, but the American Government is working to keep us down and the Anonymous Hackers don't care about us one way or another but want to be left alone to do their thing. The Hackers won't hurt us as much. In any case they will shape the future eventually and they might as well start now.

This went through several revisions and it is presently sitting at http://rEvolution.karleklund.net
It needs some additional thinking and I may wait till after the 2012 elections. - Jan 7, 2012
